@johnysingh2010 Hi. You can find the backup and restore details at wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Backup_­and_Restore

In case you're trying & failing to make CIFS work on Windows watch out for this bug: goo(dot)gl(slash)PadI

or Google for "Unable to authenticate via CIFS on Windows Vista SP1" (The bug also applies for other Windows versions.)

The symptoms are 1) you can ping the Alfresco server & 2) no login credentials work.

CIFS configuration starts at 3:00

True, these sample files are not on the default installation, however, I did find the content for these files. I just created them myself from the text of the v3.0 Installation guide. Not enough space to post here. Worked for me when I mapped to the Alfresco directory. Checkinout and displaydetail objects didn't work when I mapped directly to the spacename.

The two "VTI" files mentioned in this webinar do not exist in the default install of Community edition. I attempted to follow these instructions today (7/13/09) downloading the latest distribution and these files are not present.
